Info pages are still there. $ info grep

  Info is much better than man, but keep in mind it's only covering gnu coreutils (which isn't a bad thing!)

    Huh? grep is not part of coreutils.
    • arminiusreturns 8y ago
      I know this is late but you are right. For some reason I thought info was only fore coreutils, but it seems I was wrong. I only ever used it for coreutils, but hey, thats good news to me!

    Why is info better than man?

      Better search and better organization of the document (TOC, index search, etc.). And reading/searching Info manuals is a lot more convenient in Emacs Info-mode.

      The man page for gcc goes on and on. Try it. The info for gcc is a printed book, which is also accessible in the shell as hypertext (which predates html).
